This year is the first year Collin and Aiden are in school, so I am extra excited about taking them to choose their own paper cards to fold for their classmates. Our school has a no homemade food rule, which makes me super depressed because holidays are my <em>thang<\/em>, you guys. I love getting creative with food and treats to make them special for the kids. But at least the folded paper cards and heart doodles are permitted. Thank goodness, otherwise I&#8217;d have had an ulcer.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/valentine-fruit-kabobs1.png\" alt=\"valentine fruit kabobs1\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/fruit-kabob-recipe.gif\" alt=\"fruit-kabob-recipe\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/valentine-fruit-kabobs2.png\" alt=\"valentine fruit kabobs2\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\"><\/p>\n<p>At home, I can get as holiday crazed as I want and that&#8217;s exactly what I did with our snack yesterday afternoon. I sliced up a pineapple, a few apples, and some pears and then took my heart shaped cookie cutter to them. I wish I could have found strawberries because how extra cute would these have been with a strawberry between each heart, am I right? Next, I dipped them in chocolate and added sprinkles (all hail the Target dollar spot!). I&#8217;m not sure what it is, but there is something magical about putting food on a stick that instantly makes kids want to eat it. I&#8217;m going to try carrots and broccoli next, yes?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/valentine-fruit-kabobs10.png\" alt=\"valentine fruit kabobs10\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/valentine-fruit-kabobs8.png\" alt=\"valentine fruit kabobs8\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/valentine-fruit-kabobs5.png\" alt=\"valentine fruit kabobs5\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\"><\/p>\n<p>This isn&#8217;t technically a recipe, so I would feel odd creating a recipe card to share for this, but if you want one, let me know in the comments and I&#8217;ll whip one up for you to print at home. But it&#8217;s as easy as cutting out the shapes, dipping them in almond bark or chocolate, adding some sprinkles, and skewering them.<\/p>\n<h2>For additional Valentine&#8217;s Day inspiration, including crafts, recipes, DIYs, and more, be sure to follow Our Holly Days via Pinterest.<\/h2>\n<p><a target=\"_self\" href=\"http:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/ourhollydays\/\">Visit Our Holly Days&#8217;s profile on Pinterest.<\/a><br \/><!-- Please call pinit.js only once per page --><\/p>\n<p>The post <a target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/2015\/02\/heart-fruit-kabobs\/\">Heart Fruit Kabobs, a Sweet Valentine Treat<\/a> appeared first on <a target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/\">Our Holly Days<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Source:: <a href=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/2015\/02\/heart-fruit-kabobs\/\" target=\"_self\" title=\"Heart Fruit Kabobs, a Sweet Valentine Treat\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Holly Sosa For me, Valentine&#8217;s Day evoke images of folded paper cards with a lollipop stuck through them, candy sprinkles, and heart doodles.
